Review Quotes: "Failed leadership can be linked to a multitude of traits and characteristics. In my experience, I see this lack of collaboration as a core association of failure. With a tremendous investment in stakeholder collaboration, Rubinstein, Heckscher, and McCarthy have statistically demonstrated success that has resulted in improvements in both student achievement and teacher retention. While working together and building mutual respect seem intuitive, it can be a prodigious undertaking. Rubinstein and his coauthors establish the environment to successfully facilitate these conversations and partnerships with the ultimate goal of building an educational system where all children can achieve their full potential."
